CCC Camp at Dyerville

John Haluska at Camp

"Humboldt Redwoods State Park was established in 1921. Campers in Humboldt Redwoods State Park created makeshift campsites before the CCC constructed permanent ones in the 1930s. While working in the park, the CCC set up two separate camps - CCC Camp Burlington-Humboldt (SP-2), which housed Companies 925 and 1507, and CCC Camp Stephens Grove (SP-32), which housed Companies 732, 1507, 2509, 2940, and 5460. Camp Burlington-Humboldt was also unofficially known as Camp Burlington, Camp Humboldt, and Camp Dyerville. One of the main functions of SP-2 was to establish the State Park Headquarters in Dyerville, CA. Crewmen from SP-2 and SP-32 also performed work at Richardson Grove SP." **
